The entire teen set except Theo decides to transfer to Southern Illinois University meaning that they will be off-screen indefinitely.

Dario and Myron are both sent to prison for computer crimes. Sonny gives up his dream of running Titan, buys TBD, and gets a license so he can sell Big Boy hamburgers there.

Eric gets a job as an archivist at Salem U. meaning that he will now only have to interact with dusty documents, not people. Nobody misses him.

Commissioner Raines fires Rafe, Hope, Lani, and JJ from the Salem P.D. Rafe and Hope go to work at the Pub, Lani flees Salem, and JJ starts hanging out with Rory again.

With Rafe and Hope working at the Pub, Roman starts going to the Salem Senior Center in the hope of finally getting a kiss.

Tripp gets bored with the whole Ava thing and decides to leave Salem. Nobody ever mentions him again (just like Summer).

Maggie finally realizes that since she didn't raise the Love Doctor, she should stop gushing over him and calling him her darling egg-baby. She then decides to contact her real children.

Doug convinces Julie that Nick was really a nut case and David was a faithless husband. He then takes her on a cruise so she'll have something else to do besides harassing and insulting Dr. Grant and Gabi.
 
Gabi is horrified by what she reads in a tell-all letter from Chad's old love, Mia.

Victor, furious over Sonny wrecking the Kiriakis jet, sends him to his room without supper.

Maggie sternly cautions Brady to be more careful with Daniel's heart in the future.

A returned Jack tells Eric to stay far away from Jenny, saying that he won't be sucked into another dumb dating contest like the one he had with the Love Doctor. Eric then looks so sad and gloomy that Jack buys him a milkshake.

Deciding that he needs a better disguise, "Candyman" Deimos switches his all-black clothing for a white suit and a Panama hat.

Eli tries to give Martin House back to Jule after he discovers that it has mice in the attic, termites in the door frame, ants in the kitchen, water in the basement, and the moaning ghost of Old-Man Martin roaming the upstairs halls at night.

Abigail makes a return trip to Shady Hills hoping to recover her common sense.
 
Eli's FBI friends crack up when he admits to discussing his love life with his mother.

Hope is disturbed when she finds that Rafe subscribes to Busty Broads Monthly.

Tripp starts plotting against snarky Nurse Shelly after she calls him an entitled Johnson family brat.

Doll-in-Blanket appears at Nicole's door begging to be taken in and telling tales of horror about life with Chloe, Nancy, and Parker.
 
Once again, the TPTB have resorted to misleading spoilers.

Abigail has a nightmare that wakes Chad.



 
Thinking that the Bonnie-Hattie doppelganger plots have been a howling success with the viewers, TPTB announce more of the same.

Fake Bo Brady: Developed by Stefano and Dr. Rolf, but never used, Fake Bo arrives in Salem at last hoping to get his hands on Hope's money and collect his Kiriakis inheritance when Victor eventually goes to grouch heaven. He explains that he faked his death so he could go to a secret clinic for dangerous, experimental treatment for his brain tumor, which miraculously cured him. Hope is completely fooled and breaks things off with a distraught Rafe. Can Rafe discover the awful truth before it's too late.

Ken Weston: Ben's identical twin comes to Salem wanting to take revenge on Abigail and Kate whom he blames for Clyde and Ben going to prison. Naturally, the sight of Ken sends Abigail into a distraught, irrational state, which gets worse when she learns that he has purchased a dozen cheap neckties at Salem Discount Tie City. Will Chad dump the newly-crazed Abigail? Can she regain her senses in time to ally with Kate to battle this new threat to their well being?

Dr. Brent Robbins: Trent's identical twin breezes into town hoping to get revenge on Nick Fallon for the murder of his brother. Trent. After learning that Nick is dead, he sets his sights on the trickster's biggest booster, Julie. Will Doug, Hope, and Eli become aware of this nefarious plot in time to save Salem's leading cruiser?

Catty Adams: Hattie's identical twin, a washed-up psychiatrist who has lost her medical license, arrives in Salem hoping to blackmail her sister by threatening to expose her impersonation of Marlena. After learning how respected Marlena is in Salem and how successful her practice is, Catty decides to replace Hattie as Marlena's impersonator. Will Hattie do the right thing and reveal the impersonation plot in time to save Marlena from an extended stay in Bayview?
 
Catty Adams: Hattie's identical twin,
If anyone could pull off three-four roles on the show, it's Deidre Hall. For fun, let's bring back a Marlena-bot or two as well!

Meanwhile, Ron Carlivatti has perused Days history and found a few other ways to keep the dumbel-gänger nonsense going:

Hope and Julie are shocked when Doug suggests singing is for losers, and cruises are for squares. How long will it be before they realize Byron Carmichael (he was dead but it "didn't take") has been impersonating the kindly grandfather?

It's a grand mess in Salem when Alex North returns. [Ed. Note: Please, hold the tomatoes.] However, he claims he's the real Roman Brady, not Alex North, with whom he is often confused. This seems reasonable when John finds the real Alex North in a Siberian prison. So if "Alex" is Roman, who is "Roman"? Kate and Hattie want to know! (Of course, viewers will be way ahead of the Salem gang in deducing he must be Chris Kositchek, whose brains were scrambled by Stefano and Kristen.)

Not to be outdone, Will's return is one for the books. Not only is the presumed-dead twentysomething "writer" back in Salem, but so are...Will, Will, and Will. À la John & the Pawn, the last four actors to play Will all return, claiming to be the real Will, and Sami is no help in identifying her son. Expect this chaos to last through February sweeps.

Meanwhile, Rafe & Hope's honeymoon is sidetracked when they are arrested for running out on a hotel bill. Turns out their not-so-dead doubles, Princess Gina and Arnold Finnegar, also have inexplicably fallen in love, and are running around the world impersonating our Platinum Couple and running up a very, very large tab doing so. Can our heroes prove their identities and clear their name?

Just as Abe is moving on with his life, he runs into...Lexie? No, it can't be...and it's not, it's Nikki Wade, a real blast from Abe's past. Despite Nikki having no interest in him (and only being around for a week or so), the effect on Abe is noticeable, and it tanks his romance with Valerie, who falls into the arms of Dr Eric Richards, who can be told apart from his double, Victor Kiriakis, by his lack of misogynistic snark and dislike of milk.
 
Catty Adams: Hattie's identical twin, a washed-up psychiatrist who has lost her medical license, arrives in Salem hoping to blackmail her sister by threatening to expose her impersonation of Marlena. After learning how respected Marlena is in Salem and how successful her practice is, Catty decides to replace Hattie as Marlena's impersonator. Will Hattie do the right thing and reveal the impersonation plot in time to save Marlena from an extended stay in Bayview?
For fun, let's bring back a Marlena-bot or two as well!
Ron Carlivati also convinces Andrea Hall Genglar to return to Days to reprise her role as Samantha Evans, Marlena's dead twin. Like others, her death "didn't take". Samantha has had enough foolishness of people impersonating twin sis, Marlena. She informs all the doppelgangers that SHE is the only one capable of accurately stepping into her sister's shoes. Unlike Hattie and Catty, who have the hots for Mr. Roman, Samantha swings past the post office to use her charms on Don Craig.
 
Trying to show that they are always trying to find creative ways to entertain the viewers, TPTB release some spoilers from rejected wedding disruption scenarios.

In a last ditch effort to derail Abigail-Chad, Kate brings Percy back to Salem. Arriving at Doug's Place, Percy says "Greetings" to all the guests, and proceeds to show them a sex tape of Abigail and EJ trysting at the Salem cabin, which he took through a window.

Ghost Nick appears at St. Luke's in an attempt to disrupt Chad's wedding in the same way he did at the Nick-Gabi affair. Before leaving, he also thrills his biggest fan, Julie, by complimenting Doug's Place.

Sami barges into St. Luke's and informs a shocked Sonny that he was never good enough for Will, tells Paul he's the spawn of a life-ruiner, and asks Abigail whom she's been showering with lately. Marlena's pleas for her to behave fall on deaf ears.

Xander joins the reception crowd at Doug's Place, points at Bonnie, and in a voice loud enough to be overheard, says: "Uncle Victor, is this the woman you want me to get rid of?"
 
TPTB try to set the viewers' imaginations racing with "could-it-be" spoilers.

A depressed JJ goes over to Doug's Place for a few stiff drinks and sees Eve at the bar. Is another trip to the Salem Inn in the offing?

Rafe and Eli arrive at the K-mansion with some tough questions for Brady. Is the second-rate schemer headed for the slammer?

A horrified Maggie overhears Victor talking to Xander on the phone. Do any Salemites now have targets on their backs?

While at the Pub, John overhears Roman telling Sami that EJ was a creep and that she should stop thinking about him. Can John resist interrupting and saying, "That's a fact."
 
TPTB try to ramp up viewer enthusiasm with more "could-it-happen" spoilers.

A paranoid Rafe begins to worry that Hope will ask the police lab to check his ring for DNA. Would Hope go this far, and would the lab find Sami's DNA on the ring?

Abe is enraged by a message from D.A. Melinda Trask's office. Has the barracuda D.A. charged Theo with attempted burglary?

Ben makes a shocking move. Is he suing Sami for having him dragged out of Bayview, pointing a gun at him, and forcing him to strangle Will?

Roman gets an interesting offer. Has Giselle van Hopper renewed her efforts to win his heart or is Wanchai Ferry offering him a special discount on large orders of their frozen Chinese dinners?
 
TPTB try to spike viewer interest by releasing spoilers for Santa-themed scenes that they decided not to use this year.

Santa's sled is forced down in Salem Park because the reindeer are exhausted from pulling the heavy bags of coal meant for misbehaving Salemites.

When he enters the DiMansion living room, Santa is shocked to find that Chad and Abigail didn't wait to repair to the bedroom to engage in their mutual lust for each other.

Santa stops by University Hospital to console Angry Abe, but after talking to him, he's so depressed that he's tempted to head straight back to the North Pole.

When Santa gets to the K-Mansion, he's seen by Eve who offers him and his elves jobs with Basic Black.
